Chapter 276 Controlling the Seven Emotions and Six Desires
As the Rakshasa God's divine sense was killed by Yang Podi and Qian Renxue, a black aura emanated from Yang Podi and Qian Renxue, clearly the result of the final attack from the Rakshasa God's divine sense before its death.
Yang Podi looked at the black, evil aura emanating from his body and felt a sense of unease. What exactly was this aura? Could it really be his own evil thoughts?
However, a black aura also appeared on Qian Renxue's body, and the concentration of the aura was much stronger than that on Yang Podi. Upon closer inspection, it even seemed to be out of control, and it even seemed to be spreading from the depths of Qian Renxue's martial soul.
Seeing this, Yang Podi quickly placed the Angelic Holy Sword into Qian Renxue's hand. However, even with the purifying power of the Angelic Holy Sword, a black aura still emanated from her body. Qian Renxue herself even seemed to be on the verge of losing control. In particular, various strange changes occurred on Qian Renxue's face. One moment she was extremely fierce, the next she was extremely hostile, and then she had an expression of admiration.
Yang Podi knew that Qian Renxue was prone to losing control due to her current strength and mentality, so he directly sealed Qian Renxue's soul power with one strike and knocked her unconscious.
Yang Podi looked at Qian Renxue, who had already fainted, and couldn't help but shake his head: This guy looks quite old, but he has never experienced any painful things and has no experience of the seven emotions and six desires. I'm afraid he will have some trouble in the future divine examination.
Yang Podi carried the unconscious Qian Renxue and left the City of Slaughter directly, as this place was not very friendly to Qian Renxue.
After leaving the City of Slaughter, Yang Podi casually found a small grove of trees, put Qian Renxue down, and then began to prepare to dispel the evil aura within his body.
Yang Podi sat on the ground in meditation, trying to calm himself down and find a way to get rid of the evil energy on his body.
Although the aura emanating from the Rakshasa god is said to be evil, it is ultimately just the seven emotions and six desires, mainly joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and lust. These are all things that everyone possesses; the Rakshasa god simply amplifies these evil thoughts infinitely.
Yang Podi, meanwhile, was reciting the Heart Sutra while sensing various evil auras in his mind.
First, there was joy. Yang Podi recalled the joy of each breakthrough, the joy of watching the people around him grow, the joy of escaping disasters, the joy of being with Ye Lingling, and even the joy of being with Qian Renxue in the illusion. All of this joy became more and more persistent, and eventually seemed to slowly get out of control.
At such a critical moment, the Heart Sutra acts as a shield to protect one's mind, especially the line: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form," which helps one understand the true meaning of all that is loved.
Then came anger. He recalled the massacre of his family, the various injustices his clan had suffered since childhood, and the pressure from various powerful forces. As he went deeper into the path, he became twisted.
……
After enduring seven trials of the seven emotions and six desires, Yang Podi finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
After spitting out blood, Yang Podi became unusually peaceful. His mind, soul, and even the soul power in his body became exceptionally calm, as if he were returning to his original state and merging with heaven and earth.
The evil aura of the Rakshasa God on Yang Podi vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all. Especially now, Yang Podi's soul and the soul power of his entire body are perfectly integrated.
Yang Podi looked at his hands and couldn't help but laugh: This Rakshasa God is quite interesting. He actually gave me such a big gift at the last moment. Does this count as me passing the test of the seven emotions and six desires?
Although there wasn't the skinning and bone-shaving sensation of the true divine test, Yang Podi began to feel that all the soul bones in his body were starting to fuse. Moreover, although his predecessor had various different soul bones, there was no repulsive force at all. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before all the soul bones in his body could form a soul bone armor.
Yang Podi even felt that he had begun to grasp the threshold of godhood. This was probably the transformation from mortal to god, and also the gradual transformation of a soul master's soul into a divine soul after passing the test of the seven emotions and six desires.
At the same time, a voice came to Yang Podi's mind: The third test of the Nine Trials of Asura is completed. Asura affinity is rewarded by 10%, and the current total affinity is 40%.
The content of the fourth of the Nine Trials of Asura has also begun to be revealed: challenge and kill a ferocious beast, with a time limit of one year.
When Yang Podi saw the test content, he was immediately incredulous. Logically speaking, he had already killed three ferocious beasts, including the 200,000-year-old Golden Scorpion King, the 300,000-year-old Fire Dragon, and the 400,000-year-old Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King. Why would the Asura God give him this kind of test content?
Moreover, at this stage, all the ferocious beasts are hiding in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. There are basically no ferocious beasts outside. Only the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King are considered lone ferocious beasts. Surely the Asura God wouldn't want him to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to challenge Di Tian and kill one of the ferocious beasts, would he?
Moreover, judging from the situation, the God of Asura should know the existence of all the ferocious beasts on Douluo Star, and may even know the existence of Di Tian. But what is the God of Asura's attitude towards the ferocious beasts?
Although killing a ferocious beast wouldn't be difficult for me, it would be best to know the Asura God's attitude towards the Soul Beast race, otherwise I might encounter some problems during the inheritance process.
Thinking of this, Yang Podi glanced at Qian Renxue beside him and couldn't help but shake his head. This woman had been highly respected in the Spirit Hall since childhood, and then went to Heaven Dou City and impersonated Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. She seemed to have exceptionally rich experience, but in reality, she lacked the fighting and training of a Soul Master. She had a lot of Soul Power, but her actual combat ability was still quite poor, and her interpersonal skills were even worse.
Just as Yang Podi was about to wake Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue suddenly woke up and immediately slapped herself.
Yang Podi quickly dodged Qian Renxue's slap and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want? This is ridiculous."
Qian Renxue's face was full of resentment: "Liar, you big liar, you actually tricked me into going through all this trouble."
"Miss Qian Renxue, this needs to be clarified. When exactly did I lie to you? And what did I lie to you about?"
"You bastard, how dare you say that? Back in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, you claimed to be fighting against the Rakshasa God, but you actually fell into an illusion with me. And you've been pretending nothing happened."
Yang Podi quickly denied it: "Miss, you've really got it wrong. I really didn't have any interaction with you in the Rakshasa Secret Realm. You can ask Bibi Dong if you don't believe me."
Qian Renxue snorted coldly: "You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that? You usually call me Qian Renxue or Miss, but when it comes to emergencies, you call me Xue'er. Your use of Xue'er just now gave you away. And the way you caught my Angelic Holy Sword just now, with such skill and perfect coordination, is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two. Unless you and I have lived in the illusion for decades, we wouldn't be able to do this."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi stammered, "What are you talking about? I haven't touched you at all, how can you say we've had any interaction? Besides, even if something really happened, it was just an illusion, all a conspiracy by the Rakshasa God, it doesn't count."
I originally wanted to write it like Ye Lingling's story, but after thinking about it, I decided against it and let the two of them develop their relationship slowly.
